Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Stephen Wadeley 2017-04-11 15:03:48 UTC 
Description of problem:

It seems you cannot rely on installer script's "--help" usage statement because   the installer script accepts any value and then tells you that is the default:

~]# satellite-installer --help | grep dns
--foreman-proxy-dns-provider  DNS provider (default: "Fort_Knox") 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Version Satellite 6.2.8

How reproducible:
I tested in two systems, Sat6.2 and a beta of Sat6.3

Steps to Reproduce:

[root@rhel7-3-sat6-2 ~]# satellite-installer --help | grep dns

 --foreman-proxy-dns-provider  DNS provider (default: "nsupdate")


[root@rhel7-3-sat6-2 ~]# satellite-installer --foreman-proxy-dns-provider=Fort_Knox


[root@rhel7-3-sat6-2 ~]# satellite-installer --help | grep dns

    --foreman-proxy-dns-provider  DNS provider (default: "Fort_Knox")



Expected results:

Either say "Currently set to <value>", or provide the real default value.

Already reported in BZ1402061, although the title of that BZ wasn't obvious - fixed it.  Thanks!
